*Jake's pov*

After Jeffrey left, everything became a blur. I don't remember eating anything yet my stomach was full. I couldn't even remember leaving the diner yet here I am, walking on the streets on the next day. It was like I was floating on cloud nine just thinking that this gorgeous man asked me out on a date. I couldn't believe anyone would ever consider me hot yet he called me both hot and gorgeous. If I hadn't fallen for this guy before, then now, after thinking about it I feel like he is the love of my life. I mean he's gorgeous, nice, and seemed to like me a bunch which just qualifies anyone to be the love of my life. Then again, once he hears about my horrible past he'll hate me like all the others. I can't let that happen so I shall just never tell him my secrets.

Now, for our date... WHAT DO I DO! I have no clothes other than what I'm wearing and I can't freshen up without a shower and I can't get either those things without money and I can't get money without those things. I'm doomed. Maybe I'll try to steal some clo- SMACK! I fell back on my butt as I hit the man walking towards me since I wasn't paying attention. As I fell I heard an 'I'm sorry' and felt a hand grab mine to pick me up.

Once I got out of my daze, I looked to see who I hit while mumbling an 'I'm sorry' back. As soon as my eyes met his, I melted and all the pain in my butt vanished. Jeffrey stood there with my hand in his and a look of sincere apology on his face. He then looked up and down to see if there was any scrapes on me and once he saw none he smiled a brilliant smile and apologized again. "It's fine Jeff" I said. For a while, all he did was stare at me.

As I was about to say something, his face flashed with a look of realization as he asked, "Weren't you wearing those clothes last night?". When I realized he might discover that I'm homeless and might not want to date me anymore, I quickly replied with a no then looked down on the floor. He then grabbed my chin and pulled my face up so our eyes could meet and said, "It's ok if you don't have any clothes except for the ones on your back, Jacob. I'm fine with that just please don't lie to me because you are a horrible liar.". As I stared at his eyes I saw that he meant every word and I started to cry as everything came rolling out. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but think you wouldn't like me anymore. I really wanna go on a date with you but I'm homeless and can't afford anything.". As I continued crying he hugged me while saying sweet nothings in my ear like "it's going to be alright".

When I started to calm down he smiled at me then said, "No guy I go out with is gonna stay out on the streets while I date him, so... uh, would you like to take a spare room I have in my apartment? It's a two bedroom apartment I got because it was the cheapest I could find near my new job. No one sleeps in the room so... would you like to have it?". Astonished, I just stare at him dumbfounded that he'd even consider wanting me to live with him when we haven't even had our first date yet. Seeing my face he asks me, "Did you hear me?". I snap out of my astonishment and shyly nod, then proceed to ask him why. He simply smiled and stated, "Because I wanna date you and I want you to be comfortable while I date you. Not just during our dates but afterwards to. Please just say yes and come look at your new room.". Surprisingly I said fine and he leads me to the apartment complex he got a room in.

As we enter the building and go to his floor, I marvel at the luxurious look to the building and gasp in amazement once we enter his apartment. It was beautifully furnished and sparkling clean. As my jaw drags on the floor, he looks at me and chuckles saying, "Beautiful right?" All I do is shake my head as he chuckles and goes to the room I assume is the kitchen.

When I walk in after him, I see a small table with a gorgeous dark gray table cloth and two sets of plates, silverware, and cups set on the table. "Why is there two placements?" I asked. "Because this is where we are going to have our first date" he stated simply with a smile. "Unless you wanna go somewhere fancy" he added quickly. "No, no this is fine. It looks really nice and I'd love to have your cooking first before others.". "Haha. I didn't think about that but thanks for saying that Jacob" he said with a smile. "Sit down and I'll serve the food.". "N-no I-I can get it" I stuttered out. "No no no, sit down I gots it.". "O-ok if u says so."

As the dinner went on, he told me about his life. He was born in San Diego CA and lived a happy and love filled life being raised a Roman Catholic like me. He had three brothers and two dogs and had many pleasures that I never got like video games, books, and even a phone.

When he finally asked me about my life, I didn't want to tell him much but many facts of my life came spilling out. I told him that I was born here in Redmond WA and had a horrible life with the only love coming from my mother who died when I was 13 and my best friend Sammy. I also told him about my abusive father and how he threw me out. At that he surprised me by getting out of his seat and conning over to me and hugging me. After a while he let go and I stared at him in shock as he simply said, "sorry I thought you might like a hug for all you've been through". I then bowed my head and muttered a 'thanks' while trying to not let him see me cry.

After the dinner, Jeffrey showed me to my room and told me to get comfortable and rest up because tomorrow he promised to take me shopping for some clothes. As I tried to tell him I has no money, he said, "O and it's fine if u have no money. I'm going to pay for you". It felt like he read my mind and I just started stuttering about him not having to waste his money on me but he just waves his hand dismissing it and said that he wanted to spend money on me and that he had plenty. After that he tossed me a goodnight and blew a kiss while closing the door behind his departure. After he left, I sat in bed and pondered on everything that happened making me feel great inside. I finally passed out all but forgetting about why people can't live with me.
